FAQs

Can I use this pan in the oven?

The pan features an epoxy-coated iron handle; please check the specific temperature limit for the handle before oven use, though it is primarily designed for stovetop cooking.

Is it safe to use metal spatulas?

No. You should strictly use silicone, wood, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to avoid scratching the 5-layer non-stick coating.

Why can't I put this in the dishwasher?

Dishwasher detergents are highly abrasive and caustic, which will break down the non-stick coating and cause the aluminium to oxidize or discolor.

Will this work on a ceramic glass hob?

Yes, this pan is fully compatible with induction, gas, electric, and ceramic/glass cooktops.

How do I best store this pan?

Store it hanging by the handle or flat in a drawer. If stacking, always place a protective pad between it and other pans to protect the non-stick surface.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the pan surface

Ensure you are using appropriate heat levels; avoid overheating. Verify that you are not using metal utensils which may have damaged the surface.

Handle feels loose after long-term use

While the rivets are designed for permanence, check if the pan was dropped or subjected to extreme stress. If rivets are loose, contact the manufacturer for assessment.

Discoloration or residue on the base

Clean the stainless steel base with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Avoid harsh caustic chemicals that could damage the aluminium sides.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your De Buyer Choc Resto pan, follow these essential care steps:

  • Before First Use: Wash the pan with warm soapy water and a soft cloth to remove any manufacturing residue. Dry thoroughly.
  • Heating: Never heat the pan while empty, as this can degrade the non-stick properties. Always add a small amount of oil or butter before turning on the heat.
  • Utensils: Only use wooden, silicone, or plastic tools. Metal forks or spatulas will permanently damage the coating.
  • Cleaning: Hand wash only using a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid the dishwasher, as aggressive detergents will strip the protective coating over time.
  • Storage: If stacking, place a protective felt or soft cloth between this pan and others to prevent scratches.
